The Blue and Gray Reunion.

EvASsvILL, IND, Sept. 2l-The
register at Camp Farragut discloses
10000 Federal veterans and 5000 Con-
federate veterans to be present at the
reunion. Enthusiasm and general
good feeling prevails. There is de-
cided tendency upon the part of the
veterans of both sides TO lay aside all
prejudices and to literally ignore for
mer hatreds and strife.
The sensation of the day was the
speech Of Gen. Wheless, of Nash
willie. Mr.. Wheles, closed most elo-
auent oration with the following on
Gen. Fairchild's famous denuDciation
of the Confederate flag transaction by
President Cleveland:
"God bless the brain that conceived
the thought of this reunion of the
blue and gray.
"God bless Farragut Post for max
ing it grand success.
"God bless our country and make
us one people now and forever"
The point, though made without
seeming intention, was Immediately
recognized by the audience, who
catching the spirit of the words, tool
them up and echoed and re-echoeC
the blessing and made the welkiI
ring with their applause.

stamford Journal
A little over 35 years ago, the young
man who is now acting as Governor
of the great State Of Kentucky, was
born of very poor Irish parents, who
kept toll-gate in Bourbon county as a
means of furnishing themselves with
a living. He was an unusually bright
boy, and the trustees of the Garth
fund, left by wealthy old gentleman
to educate deserving youths, recog-
nizing his worth, selected him as a
beneficiary. lie proved himself en-
tirely worthy and improving each
shining hour, got the full benefit of
the liberal education thus placed in
his grasp. Finishing the collegiate
course, he studied law and soon took
position with the best advocates in
Covington, where he had decided to
make his home. or attractive man
ners and winning address, he became
very popular in his new home and
when he stood for State Senator from
his district, was elected by an over
whelming majority. Serving one
session with ability and his friends
recognizing that he was worthy Of
still higher advancement, he accepted
their suggestion and ran for Lieuten-
ant Governor, receiving the nomina-
tlon Of his party and making most
brilliant canvass. To-day he Is in-
vested with all the powers ofGovern-
or and if he does not acquit himself
creditably, we are mistaken in the
man. The record of James w. Bryan
shows the possibilities of the Ameri-
can youth who applies himself, and
it is given here for the emulation of
the rising generation. There is go
ing to be another brilliant chapter in
the history OF Jim Bryan and IL won't
be many years before it is written, If
his past record is an indication of his
future achievements.
